Although they want to call it Phase 2, but it is not actually correct, as Phase 2 should include Phase 1. But this is more like a different Phase.
Most likely the reason is they can't include Phase 1 because they adopted WP and due to WP limitation and they NEED to come out with a PureView Lumia to help market their WP, so they have to leave out Phase 1. Imagine if they waited and today Nokia will have nothing much special to promote about the L920.
Phase 1 is the one that's actually amazing. The current so called "Phase 2" is OK, it's especially good for those who love to take static objects (things that doesn't move because Optical Stabilizer can't help when your subject moves), but this "Optical Stabilizer" technology you can see other manufacturer's already beginning to overtake it or come close in just short time, but Phase 1, there's simply no competition.
Phase 1 lack of Shutter Speed control, if they allow this, then it will be easier to take less blurred photo due to shake.
I would love to see the PROPER Phase 2 PureView, which includes Phase 1.
Hope the next Lumia will actually have it, but then Damian already left.
I do know actually that it just a marketing gimmick of rebranding PV with "phase 2" (too early...), like what you have said. It should be consist of both phases. That is why i referred as separated path...
There are many reasons they cant work the phase 1 to Lumia, one of the main reason is their phone "profile". If they are going stick with N9 style for the rest of their life, they wont fit the large sensor nor the xenon capacitor to it, at least for now....
Hm.. cant think of any phone with shutter speed control (correct if im wrong sifu). What we can do for this is to evaluate the speed by relying on the ISO given on the different scenario...(althought abit inconvenient, lucky FP2 now are flexible to view photo and the details right after we take the shot!) Hopefully we all able to witness the true successor of Pureview in the next Lumia. We do miss Guru Damian, but Pureview initial project was under Juha's & his boss, so is up to him and the rest of the team now
